A
Many companies are now offering their employees
sabbaticals in an attempt to retain valuable staff Due
to highly-pressurised work environments and being
constantly connected to work via technology, many staff
are stressed and tired, leading to illness or dissatisfaction
Ensuring that staff have effective downtime is just as
important as meeting work targets Sabbaticals are one
way of getting employees to stay with a company, but if
they have to stay in a pressured environment for five years
before they qualify for a sabbatical, then the effectiveness
of a sabbatical can be extremely limited
B
One company thought the answer to retaining experienced
staff was to introduce a sabbatical programme, but it was
unsuccessful The company offered excellent training for
new mangers and engineers, but over 50 percent left once
they had completed their training Surprisingly, although
salaries were not as competitive as those of rival
companies, they were not the main issue During staff exit
interviews, they indicated that the main problem was that
there were no clear career development paths In fact,
some older staff had been in the same position for twenty
years
C
Corporate culture is something that many potential
employees do not pay enough attention to when
researching a company The corporate culture can make a
company great to work for or a nightmare Someone could
have all the right qualifications, but might not fit into the
work environment because the culture is alien to them
Management therefore needs to clarify exactly what kind
of behaviour is expected of their staff and they need to
‘walk the talk’ themselves, i.e they need to be models of
that behaviour
D
Unfortunately, some companies have a culture of fear where staff are too worried about questioning anything for fear of losing their jobs To most people it’s obvious that this would not lead to effective working practices Sadly, the root of this fear comes from the top, the people who should be setting a positive example If leaders behave in
an unacceptable manner, it impacts on everyone within the organisation Unnecessary anger or criticism from a leader will demotivate even the most optimistic and enthusiastic

Trang 12UNIT 3: Language and skills test
Companies both large and small are concerned about
profitability and yet they seem to manage to waste
resources in every area Small businesses are often so busy
that they have no time to keep an eye on savings; and
although huge multinationals can afford accountants to
keep track of spending, their companies often overlook
small amounts of wastage But these small amounts are
multiplied many times and therefore can become extremely
large sums of money
It is therefore necessary to regularly reassess expenditure
and look for ways to cut costs in order to boost profits The
changes required can seem obvious to outsiders, but not to
those busy running the company Often the first thing
companies look at are overheads (indirect costs, i.e money
that a business has to spend on rent, electricity, etc) and
direct costs (costs relating to a particular product or
service) One overhead cost for most companies is the
premises it uses So, the first question is: are the premises
being used efficiently or do they need to be smaller?
Alternatively, could unused space be rented out to other
businesses?
Other areas where overhead savings could be made are
within the common processes and procedures, which can
become disorganised across large organisations, and which
should therefore be standardised wherever possible
However, once a system or practice has been standardised,
the company must monitor how it is working and ensure
that employees are following any new procedures
Reviewing supplier contracts can also help to identify ways
of reducing costs A company should have the best deal
available from all its suppliers and needs to regularly
renegotiate terms with each one However, a word of
warning! Companies should be careful of cutting costs at
the expense of quality Using a cheaper supplier is the
quickest way to disaster if the quality is affected
A reassessment of any finance deals and loans is also wise
because cheaper deals may have become available
Cost-cutting ideas are not the only way to improve profits,
and increasing turnover and sales is vital This can be done
by re-evaluating the product or service and discovering new
ways of getting the most out of existing sales For example,
could a premium version of those products be added or the
product range extended? Another way to increase turnover
is to focus on selling more to your most loyal customers
Knowing your customer base well and having a good
rapport with them is very important Finally, companies
should try to remember their most valuable asset
Employees are often forgotten in the everyday operations of
a business, especially in larger companies Smaller family
businesses with little spare cash realise they cannot survive for long if the staff are unhappy and unable to work collaboratively In these businesses, management is still closely involved with the staff, but as a business grows managers tend to lose touch with the people who have built
up the company and keep it going
Therefore, in order to move forward, companies would be well advised to maximise the use of their skilled staff and focus on the value of employee contribution to the overall success of the business By building talented teams and creating an environment of support and reward for employees, the company will achieve its goals, which will
in turn lead to improved profitability
1 In the first paragraph, we learn that
a managers of smaller companies watch savings closely
b large organisations focus on profitability more than
small businesses
c large companies might ignore what seems like
insignificant waste
d small amounts of waste are unimportant
2 The writer suggests that companies

b usually pay far too much for overheads
c need to be busy all the time
d work with other companies to find space
3 When reducing overheads, the article also advises
a implementing more processes
